Big news for Pelican Town! Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has finally answered the community’s long-standing request: with the 1.7 update, two of the town’s most familiar faces, Clint and Sandy, are officially becoming marriage candidates.

Stardew Valley 1.7: Start a New Life with Clint and Sandy!

The town’s shy blacksmith and the cheerful shopkeeper from the desert are no longer just NPCs—they could soon be your life partners! ConcernedApe calls this update “the last major piece to complete social relationships in the game.”
